The mag is known for its bombastic features, and this one is as over-the-top as it gets!

Flanked by peacocks and standing in front of a burnished throne, Bey looks like a cross between Marie Antoinette and Louis XIV in her red thigh-high boots, embroidered gold bustier bodysuit, and royal blue cape.

WOW!!!

The shot, rumored to be taken by Vogue fave Annie Leibovitz, could be Photoshopped for all we know, but there's just something about it that feels REAL!

Reps for Vogue and Bey have remained silent on the matter, but if the pic is an accidental leak from the shoot, we bet Anna Wintour is sharpening the guillotine as we type!
